Jessica Star Rockers is a blue-collar princess with the Midwestern roots to prove it. Her debut cd, Beloved On Earth, is currently available from cdbaby.com. Part acoustic folk-pop, part indie rock, she uses raw guitar chords to back modern-day Jonie Mitchell vocals. The musical genre could be labeled Northwest Indie Folk: acoustic indie folk influenced by the sweet melancholy of the Pacific Northwest, with intensely raw and intimate lyrics backed by stark harmonies.
"There’s a real sense of the rainy Pacific Northwest... of claustrophobia and malaise, that confusion sometimes reigns in the best of situations. This is never overdone or self-pitying... just a recognition of everyday driftless feelings, made compelling by Rockers’ sweet, unaffected vocals."

"The nine songs sit cross-legged between yesterday's folk and today's indie rock, all plaintive strums and contemplative musings awash in cavernous reverb."
-The Bainbridge Review.
"Imagine Cat Power making 'Exile in Guyville' with a little advice from The Roches."
-iTunes.
"Folky and surreal. That is how I best describe Jessica Star Rockers. I feel like I’m sitting two feet away just kicking back and lounging while she plays her music for me."
-Madalyn Sklar, GoGirls Music
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
